Abstract

Let p\mathfrak p be a proper parabolic subalgebra of a simple Lie algebra g\mathfrak g. Writing p=rm\mathfrak p=\mathfrak r\oplus \mathfrak m, with r\mathfrak r being the Levi factor of p\mathfrak p and m\mathfrak m the nilpotent radical of p\mathfrak p, we may consider the semi-direct product \tilde\mathfrak p=\mathfrak r\ltimes(\mathfrak m)^a where (m)a(\mathfrak m)^a is an abelian ideal of \tilde\mathfrak p, isomorphic to m\mathfrak m as an r\mathfrak r-module. Then \tilde\mathfrak p is a Lie algebra, which is a special case of In\"on\"u-Wigner contraction and may be considered as a degeneration of the parabolic subalgebra p\mathfrak p. Let S(\tilde\mathfrak p) be the symmetric algebra of \tilde\mathfrak p (it is equal to the symmetric algebra S(p)S(\mathfrak p) of p\mathfrak p) and consider the algebra of semi-invariants Sy(\tilde\mathfrak p)\subset S(\tilde\mathfrak p) under the adjoint action of \tilde\mathfrak p. Using what we call a generalized PBW filtration on a highest weight irreducible representation V(λ)V(\lambda) of g\mathfrak g, induced by the standard degree filtration on the enveloping algebra U(m)U(\mathfrak m^-) of m\mathfrak m^-, the nilpotent radical of the opposite parabolic subalgebra p\mathfrak p^- of p\mathfrak p, one obtains a lower bound for the formel character of the algebra Sy(\tilde\mathfrak p), when the latter is well defined.
